International Recommend-A-Movie Day. This means everyone should go to their LJ right now and tell their friends to watch a really good movie which most of them probably have not seen. And then tell more people to do it. Hopefully, we'll all have lots and lots of recommendations by the end of the day.

I'll recommend two:

Jeffrey
A really funny and poignant movie about a gay guy who is terrified of getting AIDS. OK, that summary doesn't sound funny, but trust me, it is. Starring Steven Weber of the sitcom "Wings," Michael T. Weiss of "The Pretender," and Patrick Stewart (yes!!! THE Patrick Stewart!) as the super-flamingly-gay best friend. How can you miss out on the opportunity to hear Patrick Stewart ask, in reference to a scarf, "Can I do this? Or do I look like some sort of gay superhero?" Also features an appearance from the guy who played Mr. Trick on BTVS.

Noises Off
Movie version of the hilarious play about a bunch of actors trying to put on a play while dealing with lots of behind-the-scenes jealousies, romances, arguments, etc. This movie has an AMAZING cast including Michael Caine, Carol Burnett, John Ritter, Christopher Reeve, and Denholm Elliott. It is SO fucking funny. I could watch this movie a dozen times and still fall over laughing every time.

This is a fun meme! Those are both movies that I've always thought I would enjoy, but have never gotten around to seeing. It's supposed to rain all weekend--maybe I should go hit Blockbuster. :-)
